and_o this_o benefit_n he_o amplify_v show_v that_o by_o no_o other_o mean_n we_o can_v obtain_v it_o for_o where_o without_o christ_n there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n for_o man_n to_o come_v to_o

he_o subjoin_v that_o this_o impotency_n of_o the_o law_n proceed_v from_o ourselves_o because_o that_o we_o through_o fleshly_a corruption_n that_o be_v in_o we_o can_v fulfil_v that_o righteousness_n which_o the_o law_n require_v now_o the_o impotency_n of_o the_o law_n appear_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o it_o crave_v of_o we_o which_o we_o have_v not_o to_o give_v namely_o perfect_a obedience_n unto_o all_o the_o lord_n commandment_n and_o that_o under_o pain_n of_o death_n which_o albeit_o most_o just_o it_o be_v require_v of_o we_o consider_v that_o by_o creation_n we_o receive_v from_o god_n a_o nature_n so_o holy_a that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o law_n yet_o now_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o depravation_n of_o our_o nature_n draw_v on_o by_o ourselves_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o can_v perform_v it_o second_o the_o law_n can_v not_o give_v that_o unto_o we_o whereof_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n namely_o that_o the_o infinite_a debt_n of_o

of_o disobedience_n yea_o rather_o it_o bind_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o for_o it_o and_o again_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o suparnaturall_a grace_n to_o reform_v deform_v nature_n and_o this_o also_o the_o law_n can_v

what_o the_o first_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o and_o what_o original_a sin_n be_v come_v we_o now_o to_o prove_v the_o position_n that_o this_o sin_n original_a sin_n
